While contemporary Chinese art is playing a significant role in the global evolution of art, recent developments of art in China have not yet been properly interpreted for a wider audience.

In Chinese Art Today the renowned Chinese art critic and historian Dr. Joshua Gong provides this interpretation by exploring the context of contemporary Chinese art and its effects on society, the individual and more general art forms. The intriguing issue of juxtaposing global and national art identities is explored throughout the book, using as examples the eight most representative artists: Lin Fengmian, Wu Dayu, Sanyu, Zao Wou-Ki, Wu Guanzhong, Su Tianci, Zhang Enli and Chen Yujun.

Contemporary Chinese art has played a significant role in contributing to art globalisation; meanwhile, the trajectory of modernisation of art in China has not been rendered explicitly. This book aims to explore the context of Chinese art from the 20th to the 21st century, from three aspects: society, the individual and art forms. It is hoped to inject new vitality into the current obscure art historiography. The complicated issue regarding how to position globalisation and national identity is well discussed throughout the book, addressing the hardcore research questions in the field. This research selects the nine most representative artists: Lin Fengmian, Wu Dayu, Sanyu, Zao Wou-ki, Wu Guanzhong, Su Tianci, Wang Jieyin, Zhang Enli and Chen Yujun.
